Episode 22

CALEB

I wish I lived in a world where no matter what happened in your relationship within reason, I’m not condoning cheating or anything here everything could easily work itself out.I know it’s not realistic, but I’m willing to put my life on the right track,I think one of the hardest things to remember in marriage, and something I am constantly going back to every day, is that marriage is supposed to be two people who are able to have their own thoughts, friends, and lives, yet can come home at night and be with the person they love.Let me explain.

When you become too dependent on your significant other, it becomes unthinkable that you would do anything without that person.

You might find yourself wondering if she would be okay with you going out to the movies with your best friend, or refusing to make a decision about your own personal life until you get some advice from your partner,I’m not saying it’s bad to want to do everything with your significant other, but it’s not exactly healthy either.Think of it this way: You should want to be able to be your own person outside of your marriage in addition to having a better marriage.

I gazed at the ceiling as tears streamed down my face , wondering what went wrong in my marriage ,I have been a perfect husband ,I have never cheated ,I loved my wife more than anything in this world but she decided to betray me like this …

I closed my eyes ..went back to memory lane .
